Der effektive Diffusionskoeffizient Deff von Gasen in einem porösen Medium hängt im Knudsen- bzw. Übergangsgebiet vom effektiven Porenradius 〈r〉 der Struktur ab. 〈r〉 kann aus Deff ermittelt werden, sofern der Labyrinthfaktor χ der Struktur aus der Kinetik des Stoffaustausches in den mit einer flüssigen Phase gefüllten Poren separat bestimmt wird. An einem Trägerkatalysator (CuO auf γ-Al₂O₃) ergab sich auf diese Weise ein für die Diffusion maßgebender effektiver Porenradius, der in den Bereich der Makroporen fällt. Ein Vergleich mit dem aus reaktionskinetischen Daten ermittelten effektiven Diffusionskoeffizienten läßt auf eine ungleichmäßige Verteilung der aktiven Komponente im Kontaktkorn schließen.

Obesity-induced overexpression of miR-802 impairs glucose metabolism through silencing of Hnf1b
(2013)
Mannoheptulose is a seven-carbon sugar. It is an inhibitor of glucose-induced insulin secretion due to its ability to selectively inhibit the enzyme glucokinase. An improved procedure for mannoheptulose isolation from avocados is described in this study (based upon the original method by La Forge). The study focuses on the combination of biotransformation and downstream processing (preparative chromatography) as an efficient method to produce a pure extract of mannoheptulose. The experiments were divided into two major phases. In the first phase, several methods and parameters were compared to optimize the mannoheptulose extraction with respect to efficiency and purity. In the second phase, a mass balance of mannoheptulose over the whole extraction process was undertaken to estimate the yield and efficiency of the total extraction process. The combination of biotransformation and preparative chromatography allowed the production of a pure mannoheptulose extract. In a biological test, the sugar inhibited the glucokinase enzyme activity efficiently.

The contribution of altered post-transcriptional gene silencing to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus so far remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that expression of microRNA (miR)-143 and 145 is upregulated in the liver of genetic and dietary mouse models of obesity. Induced transgenic overexpression of miR-143, but not miR-145, impairs insulin-stimulated AKT activation and glucose homeostasis. Conversely, mice deficient for the miR-143–145 cluster are protected from the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance. Quantitative-mass-spectrometry-based analysis of hepatic protein expression in miR-143-overexpressing mice revealed miR-143-dependent downregulation of oxysterol-binding-protein-related protein (ORP) 8. Reduced ORP8 expression in cultured liver cells impairs the ability of insulin to induce AKT activation, revealing an ORP8-dependent mechanism of AKT regulation. Our experiments provide direct evidence that dysregulated post-transcriptional gene silencing contributes to the development of obesity-induced insulin resistance, and characterize the miR-143–ORP8 pathway as a potential target for the treatment of obesity-associated diabetes.
